The 9461-ET is designed for hazardous-area mounting inside a suitable

enclosure with intrinsically safe Zone 1. ATEX and IECEx certification

and Division 1 FM USA and Canada approvals. The ATEX and IECEx

approvals cover both surface industry and mining applications.

The design is based on a high performance ARM9 155MHz 32-bit RISC

Processor (ARM926EJ-S).

The gateway may be powered by an intrinsically safe power supply or

by Power over IS Ethernet (PoEx) providing intrinsically safe power and

Ethernet communications over a single Cat5e cable.

10/100Mb Ethernet twisted pair (Cat5e) RJ45 connection (100metres

length max..).

Status LEDs are provided on the front panel to indicate:

• ’Power On’

• Network Link established

• Tx/Rx activity for all COM ports

Configuration is via a Microsoft® Windows™ interface which enables

the IP address and the protocol conversion to be defined.

The Gateway can also act as the host processor for the 9466-ET

Managed Ethernet Switch giving remote access to the switch’s

management features over the Ethernet network.

The module is supplied as a DIN-rail mounting device.
